Mountainside to Offer Holiday Support in Anticipation of “Drinksgiving” and Winter Stressors

November 25, 2019 by Inside Press

Chappaqua, NY – Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for reconnecting with loved ones over food and drinks, but for those in active addiction or recovery, it can present unhealthy temptations and added stress. With the Thanksgiving break quickly approaching, Mountainside treatment center in Chappaqua, NY will provide a free helpline and Virtual Recovery Support Groups for those in need of assistance for themselves or their loved ones this holiday season.

For people in recovery, the cold weather and shorter days of winter can lead to boredom and isolation, increasing their risk of relapse. Additionally, binge drinking over the Thanksgiving weekend has become increasingly popular, with Thanksgiving Eve even being nicknamed “Blackout Wednesday” or “Drinksgiving” as many Americans pack local bars to celebrate the long weekend. With this in mind, Mountainside’s 24/7 Holiday Helpline will be available from November 25 to January 6 for all community members who are considering recovery or need help maintaining sobriety.

Mountainside is also providing virtual meetings for those battling addiction as well as people in recovery who are unable to attend a local support group in person during the holidays – whether due to distance, time, or inclement weather. The virtual groups will take place between December 3 and January 7 on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM EST. The groups will offer peer-to-peer support and allow people to share their experiences on a broad array of timely and engaging topics, including navigating the stress of the holidays. Meetings will be facilitated by Nicole Cordani, Recovery Support Clinician at Mountainside.

“The hustle and bustle of the holidays can be exciting, but can also be triggering for those who are trying to safeguard their sobriety,” says Amy Sedgwick, Mountainside’s Director of Clinical Operations. “By offering these services to the community for the very first time, we can give at-risk people the critical support they may need during the winter holidays.”

For additional support this holiday season, contact Mountainside’s Holiday Helpline at 833-200-6665 or visit mountainside.com/holiday-support to participate in a Virtual Recovery Support Group.

For Westchester County residents, the drug epidemic hits close to home. In 2018 alone, there were 213 overdoses throughout the county. To combat this growing problem, Mountainside, a dually accredited drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, offers treatment services to those struggling with substance use disorders. With its expansion to Chappaqua, NY, Mountainside delivers outpatient addiction treatment that empowers clients to maintain their sobriety while living within their own community.

Because addiction takes a severe toll on overall well-being, Mountainside Chappaqua provides recovery education and resources designed to help individuals heal in mind, body, and spirit. Outpatient services include individual and group counseling, psychiatric services, medication-assisted treatment, and health and wellness education. Wellness Workshops will feature holistic practices–such as yoga, meditation, and personal empowerment–to complement clinical therapies.

Understanding that addiction can also strain interpersonal relationships, Mountainside provides critical support to those who have been impacted by another person’s substance misuse. Family counseling sessions and free Family Support Groups offer loved ones the guidance and coping strategies they need to embark on their parallel journey to recovery.  Teens who are struggling with alcoholism or drug abuse can also receive the counseling and guidance they need.

Mountainside Chappaqua is one of four outpatient centers in Mountainside’s behavioral health network. Featuring flexible day and evening hours, the outpatient center helps clients maintain daily commitments without sacrificing their health. Mountainside Chappaqua’s dedicated team of clinicians, wellness experts, and medical professionals are committed to meeting people where they are in their recovery and guiding them toward meaningful change. Through evidence-based treatment and care, clients acquire the skills they need to overcome everyday challenges to sobriety.
